So many good things to say about this Kenya. Starts with a very fragrant fruity nose. The cup is a super-typical combination of heavy black currants, a touch of meaty dried stone fruit like apricot and peach carried with through the mouth on unmistakable grapefruit acidity. The base notes are chocolate, cocoa powder and baking spices. The mouthfeel is smooth and bright and finishes with spicy-fruity notes. What makes this Kenya stand apart from so many East Africans is the superb balance of acidity to body to earth tones making it very easy to drink. Not only a sophisticated stunner but also a crowd pleaser.
